The dream and goal are also the same things. If we are hungry, It’s OK if we eat a meal by ourselves, and if we are in trouble or very sick, nobody wants to substitute having a friends help. Of course, he doesn’t means that we should live completely isolated lives, but rather we should stop trembling and struggling to get along well together. Next, he says that we don’t have to make an effort to get along with everyone. So we may feel burdened by these higher expectations and think we have to develop our strength to fulfill those expectations.” Practically speaking about the author’s experience, when he was a college student, he also lived separately from his friends in order to reach his goal, even though he attended the same college at the same time as his old friend. However, singleness places a very high bid price on our expectations of our selves. The group that is harmonized adequately doesn’t feel out of place with each other so they are relieved to say, “I am satisfied with myself”, and they breathe easily because they got the bid price down by saying “I’m good” and “I’m fine” to each other. Takashi goes on to discuss and explain groups and singleness in terms of bid price. In other words, sometimes we need to appreciate aloneness rather than think of it as a good or bad use of time. He said that when you are learning or studying, you have to be alone because people around you may not be a good influence. He realized that people grow when they are alone. In the first part of the book, the author explains about his time spent alone from age 18 when he was preparing for his college entrance test, until the age of 32 when he got his first job.
